Overground robotic training effects on walking and secondary health conditions in individuals with spinal cord injury: systematic review

This review looks at how robotic exoskeletons (EXOs) can help people with spinal cord injuries (SCI). It focuses on the effects of these devices on walking ability and other health issues related to SCI. The review highlights the need for more high-quality studies to fully understand the benefits and drawbacks of using EXOs for SCI rehabilitation.

• 1
  EXO training can lead to improvements in walking ability, but the effectiveness varies depending on the device and individual factors.
• 2
  Some studies reported positive trends in reducing spasticity and pain with EXO training, but more research is needed to confirm these effects.
• 3
  The review found a lack of high-quality studies comparing EXO training to conventional therapy or other treatments, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions.
